Arena-Clove POV

"Clove, Katniss and Johanna will go to take the wire, while the rest of you will stay and protect me."

"I can't let Katniss go on her own she's pregnant." Peeta protests pulling Katniss to his side.

"Yeah! You can't take Clove away from me!" Cato chimes in.

"But you promised to protect me, anyway they'll be back before you know it," Beetee says getting impatient. "You better get going now as you'll want to be as far away as possible from the beach when the lightning strikes."

"Be safe, Clove, I'll see you at midnight." Cato says to me before I go.

"See you at midnight." I say leaning in for a final kiss.

"Come on, losers time to go." Johanna calls.

"I look back at a final time before concentrating on the route ahead of me.

"Let's swap, Clove you're slowing us down. Even Katniss is doing better than you and she's carrying another being." Johanna complains as she grabs the coil out of my hands.

After a while Johanna decides to guard us form behind when…SNAP!

"What was that?" Katniss asks as we turn around to the wire which springs right at us in a spirals and coils wrapping around our feet.

We all look at each other and produce our weapons ready to attack. But in a flash the coil comes crashing down on mine and Katniss' head. I feel a knife digging into my right arm and a pair of hands rubbing my arms and face.

"Stay down both of you." Johanna hisses before her footsteps are no longer audible.

I don't know what to think as I lie on the moist, green floor of the jungle eyes closed still as ever. Should I trust Johanna? What is going on? Is Katniss alright?

Then I hear loud thundering of footsteps heading towards us I hold in a breath. Not knowing who it is.

"Katniss! Clove! Get up now! It's me Cashmere!" a voice shouts.

I open my eyes to see Cashmere helping Katniss to her feet. "But Johanna…" I mumble rubbing my eyes.

"Never mind Johanna. She has done her job. Now grab hold of Katniss she is not doing well." She commands.

"What's going on? Where's Peeta?" Katniss asks in a daze.

"We'll find him."

"Peeta! Peeta! Peeta!" She begins shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Katniss? Katniss! Where are you?" He shouts back from a distance.

"I'm over here!" She answers back; waving like mad hoping it will help him see her through the towering trees.

"Look there's Beetee!" Cashmere points to a crumpled figure on the ground.

I walk over to see his hands grasping one of Cato's swords but he has wrapped the end of the wire form the tree to it.

"Katniss! You're here, alive!" says Peeta as he comes crashing through the trees, pulling Katniss into a protective hug.

"Where's Cato?" I ask franticly.

"I don't know."

"Whatever. Look at Beetee he was trying to do something." Cashmere says bringing our attention back to Beetee.

"I think I know what he was trying to do." Katniss says grabbing an arrow and unravelling the wire form Beetee's sword and wrapping it round her arrow.

"What are you doing?"

"There was something that Beetee was trying to do and I'm going to accomplish that. Remember who the real enemy is." The arrow goes flying straight into the sky just as the lighting strikes the tree.

I hear the faint buzzing of an hovercraft I must be dead then I'm dead and they are taking my body out of the arena and back to two for my parents to say their goodbyes.
